College vehicle decisions

Hello there, this is my first time on here. I currently live in Fairbanks, Alaska with a 2004 Dodge Neon that I got pretty cheap for college. It has 163,000 miles on it. Due to my finishing of my degree up here, I’m going to be moving to Washington in the spring and making the drive through Canada. Long story short, I’ve always wanted my own truck. Should I buy a 2004 Chevy S10 Crew Cab 4x4 with 225,000 miles for $2,000? It seems like a good deal because the seller is moving soon and needs to sell. But I’m weary of buying a vehicle with more miles than my current one. I’ve already had to replace the rear struts on my car and know that I’m going to need to do more repairs in the near future, and the seller is making it sound like the truck hasn’t had any problems. Any advice would be appreciated!
